“Spring-time sweet! The whole earth smiles, thy coming to greet.” Unknown
A kaleidoscope of color is unfurling as spring begins its merry parade. Perky crocuses reveal their beautiful purple and yellow petals. Daffodils begin to display their varied array of ivory, cream, pale yellow and bright orange flowers. The sweet scent of hyacinths perfume the air, and color begins to restore us. There is such joy in the eternal beauty of Spring with its promise of rebirth and renewal.
Easter Sunday is a magnificent day of rebirth and many celebrate with a festive and delicious meal.
